User Rating:I had never heard about Swordigo before I saw it rising the charts as a free app. Usually I check everything that could catch my attention, so this was pretty odd: Swordigo can easily catch my attention. Since it was free there was no reason holding me back from trying… So I downloaded Swordigo to my iPod Touch just before I had to take the train. Swordigo is a universal app, so when I came back home, I had it in my iPad as well.
Swordigo is a classic platformer, with a slight twist of RPG. You are a young apprentice… With the burden of finding the mighty weapon that will free your world. I guess you’ve already heard a story like this!
Well, the game is catchy. There are spells, there are powerups for your weapons, smooth animations and clear and sharp graphics. A beautiful atmosphere and a challenging gameplay. All in all this is probably one of the best games I’ve seen free lately. Download it, play it, let us know if you disagree and why.
